How To Make It In America Get the inside track on HBO's latest comedy series from the producers of Entourage

What The Critics Are Saying

Pleasurable, amusing, well conceived and written. Give this one time - these guys feel like they're worth getting to know, and the show as well. Newsday - Verne Gay

Even without the Hollywood glamour, though, the New York series may turn out to be the superior product, grounded as it is in Mr. Greenberg's compelling, layered character, with a strong mind and vulnerable heart. Wall Street Journal - Nancy DeWolf Smith

Everyone in "How to Make It" isn't a winner. But the show looks to be just that. New York Daily News -David Hinckley

Creator Ian Edelman keeps his characters on the right side of caricature and avoids the kind of melodramatic confrontations their relations might typically suggest. Los Angeles Times - Robert Lloyd

As a portrait of struggling Manhattanites, How to Make It effectively hones in on that hope-filled effervescence historically associated with the idealized American dream.  Slant Magazine - Adam Keleman

While I can't say that it's a great HBO comedy yet--it is not, really, even strictly a comedy in the ha-ha-hilarious sense--it's likeable and absorbing and made me want to stick around for more.  Time - James Poniewozik
